Hoover SteamVac F5914-900 SpinScrub Upright Vacuum

I have the Hoover max Extract 77 and when I'm cleaning the carpet, the clean water tank leaks on the floor, even if I'm not squeezing the trigger. The clean tank doesn't leak when I fill it, but once I place it where it fits and start using the vacuum, the clean water drains out on the floor. The dirty tank fills up, so the suction works, but, I don't know what is going on?

My Oreck vacuum cleaner will only stay on in the upright position. If I try to recline it to vacuum, it shuts off...put it back up and it turns back on. Of course I can't vacuum in the upright position...what do I do?

It sound as if you have a short in the cord or it has come loose from the motor you can take it part by removing the four screws in the buttom of the base plate to see if any of the wires are loose. ...

Is there a reset switch on the Oreck vacuum? - Oreck XL2200 Bagged Upright Vacuum

No.\015\012\015\012If the unit is not running at all, this is a 2 speed unit, right? I'd check for a failure of the diode that provides the 2 speed action.\015\012\015\012Next likely failure is a broken wire at motor. ...

Oreck vacuum keeps turning off - Oreck XL2200 Bagged Upright Vacuum

Leaking problem I have a leak in my water tank. It only leaks when it is upright. And sometimes it doesn't let the water out when I go to clean. What do you think could be the problem

I had the same problem and it was a crack in the plastic near the small rubber valves that let the water out. After having two tanks crack like this I complained to Hoover about the poor design and they sent me a new tank with a new design fee of cha ...

Vacuum dead I have oreck XLx2 bagged upright - the belt ,plug and cord have been replaced - has been working great - now went to plug it in and it does not work - the light goes on in the on/off switch so power is working but vacuum is dead - any suggestions

If the cord coming from the bottom up to the handle is loose, and is a plug, push it in. If that doesn't help. then could be a problem with the motor. One other thing to check is inside the handle, maybe a wire came loose. ...
